The steel guide for the wiring is like a razor and repostioning the cable to gain slack damaged my outer sheath. Made good with self amalgamating tape, hope it stays put! Well worth deburring if possible.

I used Kawasaki liquid gasket on the rubber to alloy joints and it was fiendishly expensive and messy as it is very runny. But no leaks!

Bike started first time this morning, best ever sub zero start, I am putting that down to the Nology coil.

Recomended torque for the pickup coil screws was about a twentieth of what it took to shift them. maybe they use araldite as thread lock, answers on a post card? I gave them an extra tweak anyway because The torque wrench clicked at just past nipped and I don't trust the things especialy where anything liquid is used on a thread.

Forgetto Hello, (sorry for my English), I'm from Spain and I have a Speedmaster carburetion 2006, a few months ago, I came fallon a piston. sometimes you do well and others not, I led the workshop, we have checked the coils and are well, we have changed the spark plugs and still ingual, the mechanic told me that failure is the CDI. But I saw on your site that can be pick-up. From Spain have told me that you understand much about the subject.
Can you help me?
thanks

Forchetto, I want to thank you for your great info...I have a quick question for you.
I made the LED tester for the pick up coil as you described, and it worked. However the light was extremely weak...in your opinion, is that a symptom of something or to be expected?

Amazing research, I recently started having simmilar issues with bike shutting off. Checked for spark and nothing, let her sit for 15 to 20 minutes and started back up. I have changed the coil, tested pick coil and its around 520 cold. I have not checked gap, but would you recommend changing unit since I will need to get in there anyways? also what would be next if issue continues the CDI?
